Guess which designer I ran into yesterday?? & Engagement Outfit Shopping

It was day 2 of my engagement outfit shopping yesterday. I went shopping with my mom and the groom-to-be. Both of them tortured me to death. I have given up and decided that I will be shopping only with my MIL. My mom and the groom-to-be rejoiced when they heard that they are spared of the suffering. My MIL is as enthusiastic as I am, gives me honest opinions and does not compel me to buy anything she likes. In fact if I say I am not sure if I like it – she throws that dress a mile away (even if she must have liked the dress a lot).

On the other hand my mother feels obligated if a SA shows us a few dresses and we don’t buy it. I understand that because I am also one of those but c’mon I am only getting married once and I don’t want to rush into something just because it looks good on me. Am I getting too obsessed? The 1st thing I tried on just to see if the colour looks fine on me and mom said – this is the one, just buy it! Frankly she likes anything I try on even if it is full of bling and is looking aweful on me (mom’s will be mom’s!).

The groom-to-be is even more torturous! We planned to shop for the whole day and he got bored within an hour!! It was a pain to get him to be with us for the day. After like 3-4 hours of apparent shopping (coz we had lunch for 1½ hours in between) he just surrendered and wanted to go home. Me, a little angry, a little crazy and a little naughty quietly sneaked in to another store while returning back to the car and asked my mom to call him in (he can’t get angry on my mom right!). Without wasting any more time, I headed straight up to the lehenga section. I was hurrying to check out the collection as I climbed up the 1st floor of the store and there was a guy with his back facing me – talking about a kurta, its colour with fabrics in his hand. As soon as I reached the top the guy turned and there he was – Manish Malhotra totally checking out what I was wearing!! ;) :P (I am not exaggerating at all) I am so glad I wasn’t wearing one of my regular printed 3/4th sleeve shopping t-shirt and my same old denims.

I felt secured enough to know that I am shopping at the right stores! J J

  3. Thanks for sharing your experience. There are number of online stores from where you can get the new design of outfits. Pakistani Designer Clothes are also a trendy dress to wear.
